F. Boberg et al., SYNTHESES AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BISPHENYL-4,4'-BIBENZYLDICARBOXYLATES AND BISCYCLOHEXYL-4,4'-BIBENZYLDICARBOXYLATES, Journal fur praktische Chemie, Chemiker-Zeitung, 335(4), 1993, pp. 316-320
A one pot syntheses gives bisphenyl-4,4'-bi-benzyldicarboxylates (2) o
r biscyclohexyl-4,4'-bibenzyldicarboxylates (3) from bibenzyl (4) and
phenols (5) or cyclohexanols (6). 20 compounds 2 and 3 with substituen
ts in the p-position of the peripheric rings have been synthesized; li
quid crystalline data are given.
